Reply To: Is it mutar to be an organ donor?

RK: I thought the same thing and asked that to Rav Schachter. He quoted Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach that if someone who suffers cardiac arrest’s heartbeat returns then Iglaui Milsa Lemafreah that he was never really dead. An arrhythmic heartbeat doesn’t cause Halachic death. This would be the same as a really long arrhythmic heartbeat.
